an ode to my almost sister in law look alike

my huge family just got bigger.

last night my brother aaron asked the most amazing girl to be his bride...

"and she said yes!" he kept saying on the phone.

he had the speaker phone on...i could hear her giggling and crying. i knew just he was wearing that 'i-just-can't-stop-smiling' smile on his face.

i was thrilled.

he asked me a few days before if i minded him asking her before the showers since he didn't want it to overshadow baby mac. if i minded!?!?!? was he kidding? i have missed so much living across the country the last two years that i was thrilled to finally be in ohio for something important.

oh, that and i love her.

they recounted the story (i am not going to steal their thunder) and i thanked God. i have never seen aaron so extremely happy...relaxed...content...himself. she really does bring out the best in him.

so this an ode to beck....i love your sweatshirts and sweatpants and the easy, natural way you have about yourself. i love your giggle and the way your eyes light up. i love how comfortable you are with the family. i am honored that people think we look so much alike (hey, you are cute stuff!) i am so glad you are in the family now...so glad you asked me to be in the wedding,...SO glad you are moving to nashville too! (you have no idea!)

and so glad i get to call you sis, Sis.

welcome to the family miss beck
